| removed I couldn't agree more, but obviously for different reasons. What makes the least sense to me while looking at these two posts together is that regular posters are instructed not to make digs at each other in overt or covert ways and to take any conflicts or misunderstandings over PM instead... |

| Again, that isn’t remotely what I said. What I said was that I wish we could treat everyone with kindness. Unfortunately there are users here who rush to defend comments that could reasonably be construed as racist, while rushing to condemn anyone who makes post critical of racist sentiments. Some ... |

| Thank you for the kind words and PMs, guys and girls. Bender's been here 8 years - I hope he will rethink and give WP another chance. This is a place of dialogue. Misunderstandings have occurred and several of us have made mistakes and/or errors of judgment. Even Alex makes mistakes - no one this si... |

Also, Ferris, IsabellaLinton, magz, Temeraire, Feyokien, AuroraBorealisGazer, wolfram87, Teach 51, and everybody else who us... |

| It is very interesting that many of the users who are leaping to the defence of the use of the n-word have also been campaigning for a ban on the use of the word “racist”. It is very interesting to me that many of the users today arguing that users should be interpreted charitably have been campaig... |

| You are a high profile member of the autistic community so may have so clout and influence and have openly declared one of the members here racist ( with your personal view of racism and language usage ) which could have detrimental effects. I personally think you are bang out of order and need to ... |

| That’s a great idea Please keep us informed over the next few days/weeks with what progress you manage to make with the tech, admin and new mods issue or what ideas you have to make this a more inclusive and peaceful place and I'll do my best to start talking to people so we can move things along :) |

| Move this to a different topic if you feel it's irrelevant, but isn't it interesting how much competition there is amongst a few of the men here to undermine each other? I don't think it's off-topic or irrelevant, there are a few very territorial and belligerent guys here who go for the throat face... |

| Alex, it's important to remember that there are many members here from different countries that aren't aware of what goes on in the US to the extent that you are. You are also a popular person living in a very progressive city, where I surmise you're exposed to many social activists/aware/woke peop... |

| I've been here for more than 8 years: in the last two, the site has been slowly but surely leaking users and people have been complaining and migrated to sites where they don't have these issues. And users here who never got any warnings or bans and generally helped in significant ways with keeping ... |

| the idea is an optional supporter thing so it wouldn't be required. i think you can get a special badge next to your name saying supporter. This is a great idea, especially since it's allowing those with limited resources to still use the site. I'm paying a subscription for several sites, so I'm no... |
